Melvin Odoom has arrived at Brisbane airport ahead of his appearance on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! next week - making the presenter the seventh star to arrive Down Under. Donning a white T-shirt with a pair of camouflage cargos and Nike Panda Dunk trainers , Melvin appeared in high spirits as he made his way through the airport.

It comes after McFly's Danny Jones was the first campmate to touch down in Brisbane, followed by Alan Halsall and Tulisa Contostavlos. Upon arrival to the airport, Tulisa was seen requesting a McDonald's before a diet of rice and beans in the jungle. Ignoring the press huddle in the arrivals hall, Tulisa quipped: "Is there a McDonalds around here?"

Campmate Coleen Rooney was spotted in Manchester Airport on Monday morning as she prepared for a long day of travelling to Brisbane, and has not yet touched down.

Strictly star Oti Mabuse and Loose Women panellist Jane Moore are also still yet to arrive. While rumoured contestants Maura Higgins and Rev. Richard Coles are not included in the confirmed line-up, there is speculation they could be camp's two late arrivals to finish off the cast.

The line-up was confirmed by ITV on Monday night (11 November), and following the announcement, a video was shared to Melvin's Instagram page. In the clip, he said: "This has been so hard to keep a secret, but it's finally out now. I am nervous, I'm excited, I'm scared, but also, I'm honoured."

Before the show has even started, bookies are already betting that McFly's Danny will take home the jungle home. With Danny's winning streak on The Masked Singer and his bandmate Dougie Poynter's Jungle victory back in 2011, many are predicting he will follow suit.

Sam Thompson, Joel Dommett and Kemi Rodgers are all in Australia too as they prepare to host the series' spin-off show this year - following Sam's victory winning King Of The Jungle last year. The trio were on the same flight as campmate Danny, which took off on Saturday from London Heathrow.

But the very first to arrive was Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, who have adjusted to the Oz temperatures now after touching down earlier this week. The duo are currently prepping for their 22nd year of hosting the show since it first aired in 2002.
